Generations Product Page Updates Officially Confirms New Features

Following on from Emerald Coast’s GAME PDLC story earlier, other sources like TSSZ and TSS are reporting that SEGA’s product page has been updated. This for the most part is pretty much in line with all reveals spilled from the Generations data late last week.

The ultimate celebration of 20 Years of Sonic gaming, Sonic Generations delivers the definitive gaming experience for Sonic fans new and old.

Sonic’s universe is thrown into chaos when a mysterious new power comes into force, creating ‘time holes’ which take Sonic and his friends back in time. Whilst there, Sonic runs into some very familiar characters from his past including a younger version of himself! Now they must team up to defeat their enemies, save their friends, and find out who is behind this diabolical deed.

Key Features

Play as both Classic Sonic and Modern Sonic in the ultimate Sonic experience. Master the moves of each character as they race through each environment on their own specially designed track.

Additional Key Features for 3DS

All New Content

With new and exclusive environments for the Nintendo 3DS, including an un-lockable ‘special stage’. Each includes two tracks – one for Classic Sonic and one for Modern Sonic – designed to showcase each Sonics’ unique features.

And now a little note on where we are with the little exclusive I talked about a while ago: It’s unsure whether the details will appear here on SW, or will be revealed via SEGA – however the specific details, which relate to the early days of Generations, were agreed to, prior to my leaving the company, be revealed via me since I thought they were significant and since…well…it is actually my work/story so I thought I should have the right to tell it. I’ve actually been waiting VERY patiently for about five months now for this to go out, however with all the level details apparently out of the bag there doesn’t seem much point in waiting much longer. Hopefully SEGA will get their act together on this. Otherwise you’ll hear from us soon and the details will be revealed.

A little surprised no one has put 2 and 2 together on this one actually…

Gamer, scholar, gentleman & fountain of useless trivia, LMC's boss-man extraordinaire is also a super-awesome Community Manager who has worked on projects for SEGA, Square Enix, Konami, Capcom and more. Once co-created and hosted an international fan-convention because he can do that sort of thing.

not to mention street pass and an unnamed non multiplayer online function for the console versions. this game takes the best from the 3 eras, but the dreamcast era is lacking in content. chao garden for each of the 9 levels? maybe. but chao gardens in general? almost certainly. am I right about chao being the exclusive? that is yet to be seen, but I have no doubt whatsoever!

ok maybe some doubt…. but chao will eventually make it back. at the rate sega is going, sonic adventure 3 and sonic generations 2 are not out of the question ( they said no to the latter, but they ALSO said theyd never make a game that pleased fans both new and old!). in those possible games, sa3 would have chao, and sg2 would have dreamcast sonic. thats just a dream of a fan of the adventure series, but with sega finally listening to us, anythings possible.
